Life

Verse 1

Nobody owns a single thing,

Not gold, nor silver fit for a king.

All that we hold can slip away,

By fate or a shadow spirit one day.

A thief may come beneath the night,

A ruler claims it by his right.

Or those we trusted, standing near,

Can strip away what we hold dear.

Chorus

Nothing is ours forevermore,

Like drifting waves upon the ocean shore.

We borrow all beneath the sun,

Until our fleeting race is done.

Yet while your heart still beats inside,

Your life is the only thing you've got,

So cherish each moment while it's true,

For now, this life belongs to you.

Verse 2

Our dearest things never truly stay,

They're only ours from day to day.

Until one voice, one choice, one breath,

Can strip them bare with quiet theft.

In just a blink, without a sound,

What once was yours is no more found.

Yet what you worked for through the years,

Can disappear and leave you tears.

Chorus

Nothing is ours forevermore,

Like drifting waves upon the ocean shore.

We borrow all beneath the sun,

Until our fleeting race is done.

Yet while your heart still beats inside,

Your life is the only thing you've got,

So cherish each moment while it's true,

For now, this life belongs to you.

Verse 3

Minds can fade with passing years,

Or break through sorrow, pain, and fears.

Though today your thoughts are here,

Tomorrow they can disappear.

For life itself is frail and small,

A single breath can end it all.

By nature's hand or human strife,

The world can steal both mind and life.

Final Chorus

Nothing is ours forevermore,

Like waves upon the ocean shore.

Yet while your heart still beats inside,

Your life remains your faithful guide,

We're only travelers passing through,

With borrowed skies of endless blue.

So treasure every passing day,

Before the winds take

Bridge

What if the dawn should never come

And every battle left unwon

The maps we traced with careful hands

Are scattered like the drifting sands

But still we breathe, and still we rise

With starlight living in our eyes

We are the keepers of the flame

Though none can call it by our name

Verse 4

The seasons turn, the rivers flow

And all we love must one day go

The house you built, the songs you sang

Are carried on the wind's wild hang

Yet in the spaces left behind

A softer truth begins to find

That what we gave, what we released

Becomes a kind of lasting peace

Chorus

Nothing is ours forevermore

Like drifting waves upon the ocean shore

We borrow all beneath the sun

Until our fleeting race is done

Yet while your heart still beats inside

Your life is the only thing you've got

So cherish each moment while it's true

For now, this life belongs to you

Instrumental Break

Verse 5

So walk the road with open hands

And greet the strangers in strange lands

Let every word you speak be kind

For memories are all you'll find

The love you shared, the tears you shed

Are threads upon a greater thread

And when the final curtain falls

You'll hear the echo of their calls

Bridge 2

Oh, the light within will never die

It lingers underneath the sky

A quiet pulse, a gentle hum

From where we came and where we come

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)

Final Chorus

Nothing is ours forevermore

Like waves upon the ocean shore

Yet while your heart still beats inside

Your life remains your faithful guide

We're only travelers passing through

With borrowed skies of endless blue

So treasure every passing day

Before the winds take all away

Outro

Take it all away

(Take it all away)

Before the winds take all away

(Take it all away)

Keep the fire, keep the light

Keep it burning through the night

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)

Hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm

Hmm
